The figure shows prejudice values based a measured scale of 1- 100.The mean average of the prejudice data is 84.70 which is a result of adding all prejudice and dividing it by the sample size. The median is 87 which was the middle prejudice among the 20 in the sample size. This means that 50% of the scores are higher and 50% is lower then 87.
